Reminiscent of Annie Ernaux's \u003cem\u003eHappening\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAbortion\u003c\/em\u003e is nuanced, complex, honest, and precise.

When she decided to undergo this procedure because of her economic circumstances, she thought it would be \"quick and easy, over and done\". But it wasn't that simple. While she didn't regret it, she still had to live with the legacy of society's attitudes toward the termination of pregnancy and her own body's visceral response. Her candid ruminations add valuable nuance to this fraught debate.\u003c\/em\u003e - Fiona Capp, The Sydney Morning Herald\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn this nuanced account, Harmange (\u003cem\u003eI Hate Men\u003c\/em\u003e) reflects on her decision to have an abortion ... She uses her story as a launching pad to explore the politics of abortion and laments that taboo inhibits frank discussion of the \"feelings of ambiguity, negativity, sadness, and insecurity\" that can accompany the procedure ... Harmange excels at illuminating intersections between the personal and the political, and her willingness to probe her own pain makes for powerful reading. Timely and affecting, this packs a punch.\u003c\/em\u003e - Publishers Weekly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbortion—a personal story, a political choice ... defuses arguments on both sides of the abortion rights issue by presenting an intelligent, heartfelt understanding of what matters most ... a solid, thought-provoking read that proves to be a noteworthy effort to open a much-needed discussion about a societal taboo.\u003c\/em\u003e - Shelf Awareness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46342537380076,"sku":"9781761380020","price":22.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3101353482815.jpg?v=1743917815"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/caitlin-oneil.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
